RAMADAN is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar, a time marked by heightened spirituality, renewal and growth. At its heart lies daily fasting from dawn to dusk – a personal act of devotion opening the door for both physical and mental detoxes. This sacred month offers not only divine blessings but also a continuing pathway to restore inner balance and mental wellbeing.
Beyond refraining from food and water during the day, the sacred pillar of fasting creates an inner space for us to become better versions of ourselves. The Holy Quran (2:183) makes it clear that fasting was prescribed so “that you may become righteous”. As we enter the final week of Ramadan, let us take stock of our emotional growth and how we can carry it forward rest of the year.
